GIVEN FAIR TREATMENT Washington, Jan. 31. Major Gen eral Leonard Wood, commander of the Eastern department, questioned by Senator Blair Lee today on the mobilization of the National Guard for border service before the senate subcommittee on universal military service, reasserted his opinion that the National Guard system was a 'vicious and indefensible military sys tem," but admitted he included in the word "system" much of the War de partment's share in the mobilization. The government arsenal's method of equipping state troops had com pletely broken down within ten days after the call was made, General Wood said. This was not the main fault, he declared, as even had sup- Sties been ready the men would have een untrained. The officer could see no hope that an effective force ever could be built lip except under exclusive federal control, divorced wholly from the state governments. 'The officers and men of the Na tional Guard are entitled to the high est credit" General Wood said. "We are attacking a vicious and indefensi ble system. 1 am equally strong against the volunteer system." General Wood said he had enter tained the same opinion when chief- of-iuff and he believed Maior Gen erals Wotherspoon and Scott, his successors, took the same view. "Then the last three chiefs-of-staff have been. called upon to administer a system which they looked upon as vicious and indefensible?" asked Sen ator Lee. "You think it possible they could administer a system they so regarded in an effective and friendly manner? "I think if you had been at the mo bilization camps you would have thought it was ao administered," General Wood replied. The officer insisted that the regular army offi cers had given the National Guard system the fairest treatment that could be desired. Explaining the feeling of guardsmen coming home from the border, he said. "They are coming home sadder, but wiser. They have learned the folly of the system of which they were vic tims. They had been drugged by praise. Now they are not going to see the country leaning on a broken reed. They were not soldiers when they reached the border, and to- have put them up against reasonably good troops would have been murder. ' General Wood was drawn aside from the National Guard discussion into the question of machine guns. Under the present organization of the War department, he said, the country would never be properly equipped in this regard. University Students Are Planning the Omaha Trip Students of the University of Ne braska are already being canvassed for opinions as to what time of year and what day of the week this year they had best make the trip to Omaha for the annual University day so successfully initiated last year by the bureau of publicity. Carl Engberg, executive dean of the University of Nebraska, has written the bureau of publicity say ing that he has inquired by letter of all the heads of departments at the school to get 'ideas on the best time to make this trip. He assures the bureau- that if the weather is favorable a larger crowd will attend this year than last.

That's the story In a sentence oi tne promotion that has come to Edward W. Dooley, manager of the Woolworth store in Omaha for several years past The nromotion came so fast that Mr. Dooley did not have time to say goodby to his friends, but took the train last Sunday night to report for duty in Chicago Monday morning, which accounts for the delay in the news getting out J. DeF. Richards is to Remain in This City ' In connection with J. DeF. Rich ards' resignation as vice president of the Omaha National bank, J. H. Mil lard, president of the bank, said to day: 1 "We are sorry to lose the services of Mr. Richards. His decision to end his active executive duties in the bank and devote his time to his many widespread personal interests is a source ot keen regret to the officers and directors of the bank. Mr. Rich ards has consented to remain as a di rector. He will continue to make his home in Omaha. w- TO OBTAIN THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY Special attention must be paid to the diet, and regularity must be promoted in the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. .

PARRISH EXPLAINS PLAN Half a thousand farmers are right this minute anxious to borrow from the Omaha Federal Farm Loan bank. This was indicated by the inquiries that are daily being sent by farmers to Omaha men who, they believe, are in a position to supply the necessary information in regard to obtaining loans. Prof. C. W. Pugsley of the Univer sity of Nebraska has compiled a list of over 300 names and addresses of farmers throughout the district who have written him. He has mailed a copy of the list to Mat.ager 'Parrish of the bureau of publicity, who will co-operate in disseminating informa tion in regard to the workir.i; of the bank. Prof. Pugsley himself has mailed out bulletins to these people, but thought the bureau of publicity might wain to use the mailing list to send out additional information. Be sides this list, Mr. Parrish has him self received some 200 letters directly from farmers who want the bureau of publicity to inform them as to some details of the system under which the new bank will operate. The questions relate largely to the subject of how to organize the neces sary farm loan associations; how to get the loans; and to what extent each borrower makes himself responsible for the loan of the other borrower. Form Local Clubs. The organization of local farm loan associations is necessary, of course, before loans may be obtained. If twen ty men organize an association, then, to borrow $1,000 apiece, they are re quired before loans are made to them, to buy capital stock in the bank equal to 5 per cent of the loans they seek. Thus in the case above mentioned, each of the twenty men would be re quired to buy shares in the bank to the amount of $50. This would add $1,000 to the capital stock of the bank from this one local association. Loans are then made, up to 50 per cent of the value of the property, as appraised by the local association members themselves, and by two other systems of appraisement, which thus form a check and cross check upon the appraisement In, case one of the twenty men should fail, and it should be necessary io loreciose nis mortgage, me securi ties would be first exhausted to meet the loan. Next the $1,000 capital paid in by the association of twenty men would be drawn upon. In the case mentioned above this would far more than meet the obligation. , Assess Other Members. However, if in any case this should not yet cover the deficit, then the nineteen other members of the local I 1 1 om strikes a normal balance between the extremes of heaviness and mildness a normal cigar for habitual enjoyment.

Again, in any ordinary case this would abundantly cover any pos sible losses, it is thought, but should the case arise in which it would not, then money could be drawn from the general capital stock of the bank. Thus the individual borrower is first responsible for his loan to the extent of the securities he has given, then the capital stock he and his as soojates in the local association have paid in is called upon; then the mem bers of the local association would be called upon under the double lia bility banking rule and assessed an amount equal to the amount of cap ital stock they own; then in extreme emergencies the bank's capital stock itself could be drawn upon, and after that, if a still more extreme case could arise, the eleven other farm loan banks would be called upon to help. It is assumed, of course, that any failure to make good on a loan will very readily be taken care of in the local association in which it occurs, and without inflicting any hardship upon the other borrowers in the as sociation. The other safeguards are merely provided as a possible channel or method of procedure in any con ceivable condition that might arise.
